DES MOINES, Iowa [KCCI] — A central Iowa man faces a felony charge of possession of child pornography after he walked into a police station to confess to the crime. KCCI reports 18-year-old Jack R. Conner, of Altoona, is charged with one count of purchase/possess depiction of a minor in a sex act, first offense, a Class D felony.

According to court records, on Monday evening, Conner walked into the Altoona Police Department and told them he wanted to confess to criminal activity. Conner was interviewed by a detective and admitted that he had been purchasing “child sexual abuse material” on a smartphone app for several years.

The court records say Conner consented to a search of his phone during the interview, where a photo of genitals belonging to a 15-year-old girl was found. Conner allegedly told the investigator that he knew the girl in the photo was 15 and he knew her through the app. He said he spent approximately $600-$700 on child pornography since he started seeking it.

In an unrelated incident, Police in Indianola said they arrested two suspects after an investigation into a report of attempted sexual abuse of a minor. A search warrant was executed at a residence in the 1600 block of West 3rd Avenue early Tuesday morning. As a result, 41-year-old Jason Witzke, of Indianola, was arrested and taken to the Warren County Jail. Police say 39-year-old Valerie Cross, of Creston, was also charged after being taken into custody in Greenfield Tuesday morning. She was also booked into the Warren County Jail.

Authorities allege Witzke and Cross attempted to entice a minor for sexual contact in Indianola. Witzke faces several charges, including conspiracy to commit forcible felony and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse. Cross is charged with enticing a minor, child endangerment and conspiracy to commit forcible felony, along with other charges.
